Head & Neck Restraint Rule

[Tom Goldman]

I've been wearing a Necks Gen Rev for the last two years and don't even notice it any more ,except when I forget to release the tethers pulling off my helmet once and awhile.
Being a "Senior Gas" racer I want to be around long enough to be a pain for the young 'uns .
Personally ,the rule makes a lot more sense than a lot of their others

Once I read the differences between the neck collar that does nothing and the Hans type restraint. I was convinced two years ago to get one. It only took a few passes to be able to get everything off on my drive back on the return road.

The neck collar was for fire safety, Not for neck support. That is why you now have to run a head sock or helmet skirt with the head and neck restraint.

My routine has actually been to leave the Necksgen connected to my helmet at all times. So far it has seemed to simplify the process.

That was a great race, Gary! Keep making that pass and things will go well!

After wearing a HANS during the Cecil County race, and finding it to be a great distraction, I switched to the Simpson Hybrid for the Maple Grove race, and found it to be an instant night and day difference.. I also went with a helmet skirt, but found that it doesn't seem to allow enough fresh air into the helmet, which resulted in glasses and visor fogging.. I'll be switching to a head sock for the next race..

Stay tuned for further hunt and peck results..

The HANS will now be living in the RV, should anyone need one at a race I'm attending..

I need to try that one Like you said the one I was using flat out sucks. I don?t have a neck anyway, so it seems to ride the helmet and gets snagged sometimes. Definitely felt unsafe wearing it in the very tight confines of the Porsche so I just picked a spot to dump and kept it just under 150 so I didn?t have to use it. Same one in the Alfa isn?t as bad because I have more room. But would still like to see the difference in them.

YUP KEITH!!.. experienced the same problems in the roadster.. felt like someone was tapping on the back on my helmet during staging.. UGH.. problem now solved..
